SENATORS Cockrell and Vest of Mis-

representative for this county in the
state legislature, that they have each

able to do so. Now let Kansas senators
join hands with the Missouri senators

it a republican administration, such d

INGALLS, ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Senator Ingalls, has placed himself
on record as against woman suffrage.
He holds that person that cannot aid
in enforcing the law has no right to
participate in legislation. He also
thinks that suffrage in this country to
day is too universal. He is afraid of
the anarchists, both male and female.
He claims the woman suffragists have
based their arguments upon the fact
that our cOlored brethren vote, and
takes the following bold stand on the
subject:
One common argument that is in
sisted upon with great force by the adj
vocates of equal suffrage is based on the
fifteenth amendment to the cOnStitu-
ton of the United States which en-
franchises the slaves, or rather the
freedmen, who had been slaves. 1t was
logical to allow the freedmen to vote,
if there is any logic in politics, but the
logic of votes. 1t seems indisputably
right that If rebels were to be restored
to citizenship there was only one way
to enable the freedmen to defend them
selves, and to enable them to defend
themselves they should be armed with
the ballot. The fifteenth amendment
was a war measure, and those who ap-
peal to that right for the purpose of
establishing the right of women to
vote are in my judgement exceedingly
unfortunate, for in the light of events
for the last twenty years, 1 have no
hesitancy whatever in declaring that
negro suffrage in this country has been
an absolute and unqualified failure.
We are afraid that Senator Ingalls,
has not added to his popularity by his
bold speech, either in regard to woman
suffrage or in declaring that negro
suffrage in this country has been an
absolute and unqualified failure.

SPEAKING of the base ball game late

Enjoy Life.

What truly beautiful world we live
inl Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands
of means Of enjoyment. We can desire
no better when in perfect health; but
how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged and worn out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that Green's August

THERE seems to be trouble among
the North COrolina democrats. Sena-
tor Vance, ex-Congressman Kitchen
and other prominent members of the
party, "have come out in open hostil-
ity to the denomination of Cleveland -
There are other party leaders down
there who have reasons for advocating
his denomination, and SO the Tar heels
if not positively discordart and bellig-
erent, are not dwelling together in
''sweet Accord North Carolina re-
publicans note this inharmOnious rela-
ton of the democrats, and hope to
make something out of it, but without
any well marked prospect of success.
The Bourbons are losing ground all
through the south, but still have
strength enough to hold on to the pow
-er they possess few years longer.

ONLY few years ago there was not
a single republican vote cast at Gin
ton, Kentucky, but corps of New
England school teachers invaded the
place, and the result is that republi-
can mayor and three republican coun-
cilmen have just been elected there.
Thus. it will be seen, the hostility of
the Kentucky democrats to popular ed
ueation is based upon substantial con-
slderations of party safety and welfare.

FOREIGN immigrants are coming to
New York at the rate of 1000 day.
According to the estimate of the COM
missioners, each one of these immi-
grants brings s2s along. This is the
average estimate. For the year the es-
timated number of these immigrants
is S65, 900, and the aggregate of money
they bring here is s., 1895, 900. 1t is not
so much the number of immigrants, or
the money they bring with them, as it
is the quality of the immigrants them
selves. Anarchists and nihilistS are
always in this increase in our popula-
ton. They are foreign impOrtations
which are curse to the country, and
if they could be sifted out and returned
to the countries from which they came
the United States would be the gamer.
These disturbers should be required to
take the risks of stimulating anarchy
by their speeches or throwing bombs
among the officers of the law in their
own land, instead Of doing their devil
ish work in the land of the free.
